Gents,

I am looking for a emt-I course (prefer in the midwest) I have looked around me (Detroit) and only found semester long ones. I am hoping to find something that isn't that long. Also, be a bonus if they take gi-bill or refundable afterwords with gi-bill.

Any help would be appreciated.

Maybe you would be interested in Pelham Training, in Bloomington Indiana. Not sure of the complete list of courses they offer, though.
www.emtinc.net/

One of my pals uses/recommends them. That's more than good enough for me.

Recalled,

I'm going to be calling them in the AM tomorrow. Last time I talked to them they was trying to get the I going but only had B and P.

Thanks,

Spongebob

Spongebob,

You may want to check out which of the states recognize EMT-I off of the NREMT website. (www.nremt.org) States that don't recognize the -I probably won't have courses for them. That should narrow down where you should be looking, at least.

I'm pretty sure that Pelham doesn't do the I; I did my refresher there a couple of years ago and they were only doing -Bs and -Ps.

I talked to them and they do take the gi bill and although dont advertise it can do emt- I course thats 6 weeks long classwork then go do your clinicals.

Before you rush off and do your Intermediate, look at the changes to the Intermediate scope of practice.

In a nutshell, I's will be 'advanced' Basics andthe currentIntermediates in the field are being encouraged to upgrade to Paramedic. Might as well do the time and get your P

Bedpan,

Funny you posted that I just may end up doing that.

Well I start the EMT-P program next week (decided to take your advice and that of others.)

Decided to take the hit for a year and study/ ER and Amb time.
